Those DMC1 Comics...yeah. I looked at the page. Basically, a fan page was the source for it being non-canon. It might not actually be as non-canon as you think. This is why I said make sure you use official sources that say it's non-canon. It seems to me that with DMC Fans in general, Contradiction = NON-CANON. That's not the actual case. (It has to be like DMC3, where it changes MORE THEN HALF OF THE STORY of something previously established.)  I'll see If I can actually read the comics before passing judgement. It probably is just an adaptation of the first game.

See, that's the tough question we're asking: Which is canon?! You have two things coming out as credible equally when you don't have personal opinion/bias and actually look at the material itself. Only Capcom and the people who have the authority (Writers, Producers, Directors, etc.) can say If something is canon. With Novels and Games is a weird case. When you play the game, you only look at cutscenes. The Novels feature how events would go without player cotrolling it. It's tricky. That's why people argue. But that doesn't stop the fact something is canon. Canoncy is also not decided by community. I literally cannot answer the question. I do have an idea on how to express this on the articles without confusion, though.

For the ages, you do both. Word of God and Novels/Whatever media are not going to contradict themselves often! Matter of fact: I also want to question were these Word of God "confirmation" are. I have yet to find evidence of Dante's DMC3 age being 19. People say the director has confirmed it....but I scoured the internet. I'm not finding such thing.
